Phil Lloyd 10,738 Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Bring Back Aven Preston!!! Nuff said; Surely? Aven had BIG BALLS Ditchy.... I remember her well... Old Plummer was having a bit of a scream,...he didn't like the way things were going,.and he wasn't having certain young guys writing in the magazine about terriers,.ferrets, lurchers...etc... They were getting a wee bit too popular with the readers... So,..he starts to dictate to Aven how 'things are going to be'...don't ya know... 'Don't you know WHO I am',.. he says... ? "Yes",.says Aven.." You are the person who USED to write for The Shooting News,...goodbye..." Fecking hell,..what a beaut she was , eh... Her stance gave loads of other 'voices' a chance to offer an alternative viewpoint,.so fair play to her.. It didn't last,...it never could,...but by heck,..it was fun while it lasted.... Raise a glass to her Ditch,....Halcyon Days dear reader,.Halcyon Days.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Phil Lloyd 10,738 Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 (edited) I saw a 'free copy' of the CountryMan's Weekly magazine at The Welsh this year.... (Superb show,...genuine hunting men )... The magazine has indeed changed... Full colour photos and loads of articles and adverts.... Them as is bored with the content..... Let your feelings be known... Be vociferous and forthright in your criticism and let the powers that be KNOW that you are unhappy with the situation...Hopefully the editorial staff will listen to the folk who 'pay their wages'.... All the best ,..cheers,.CHALKWARREN... Edited July 14, 2007 by CHALKWARREN Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not knocking those who can pen a few words and scank a few quid, never buying it again though, must be a lot of brainwashed folk out there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 A ye said to me in PM, Chalks ~ and gave ye blessing for me to repeat it here: " Bring Back Aven Preston!!! 'Nuff said, surely? Aven had BIG BALLS Ditchy.... I remember her well... " I never actually had the pleasure of meeting Aven myself. But I did speak to some lads who'd met her at a show the week before. Their words and attitude of the woman said it all. They were impressed to the point of awe by her. " A Very Nice Lady! " is how they described her to me. For rough arsed lads like that to refer to any woman as a 'Lady', let alone hold her in such high and open admiration spoke volumes. I miss her to this day. I wonder and I hope she's doing well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest shaheen Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Bob Dalton who writes on the falconry section must be the most dull and mundane writer on the subject imho! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Scuba1 Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Some people take magazines out here just to please me and so one of those things ended up in my hands. I must say , that I would have been hapyer if the had taken 3 feet of bog roll. Sorry but that is just me. ATB Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites
